Do you remember iCade? It is a system that was presented on April 1 and that revolutionized the Internet. Although the joy of the users did not last long: it was a false invention, presented on April Fools' Day in Anglo-Saxon culture. However, the reception of this product was such that there were those who saw the point of the matter and have come to develop, this time for real, that idea that drove iPad users crazy who saw the opportunity to turn their tablet into a little arcade machine.
Through Engadget, we have learned that iCade has reached the FCC (the American office that certifies that a product meets the necessary requirements to be launched on the market). That is why in a short time we will be able to talk about a machine that, despite starting its existence as a joke, ended up bringing huge benefits to those who jumped into the pool to produce it.

The iCade, in principle, it seems that it may be ready to start selling at the end of May, and some stores already have it in pre-reservation for about 100 dollars (about 68 euros, at the current exchange rate), with which we would have a little machine Like the one that swallowed up our weekly pay a few years ago, but on a small scale.
In fact, the iCade system works so that we take advantage of a gap in its design, where we would embed the iPad, which would instantly become the screen of the little machine. Commands to control the game, we would have a stick to the pure arcade style, accompanied by a full keypad with that sound so distinctive. Given this, the question would be: how will this system work with Angry Birds?
